How to Maintain Your Test Center

Follow these steps to update test center and staff information, as well as obtain information on becoming a certified test center administrator.

How to Update Your Test Center Information

1. To update your test center information, including the location of your test center, and to update the Primary Test Center Administrator (PTCA) log into the CLEP Resource Center (see link below in Resources), then select Update Your Contact Info in the Quick Links or Forms section.

2. If you don't have a CLEP Resource Center account, you can request a username and password by completing the CLEP Resource Center Account Request Form.

How to Access Test Center Administrator Certification Training

  1. Each test center's Primary Test Center Administrator (PTCA) will be emailed a link to access the CLEP Test Center (TC) portal.
